Petroleum, often called as crude oil or simply oil, is also known as fossil fuel because it was
formed from the remains of plants and animals that died millions of years ago. As plants and …

Salinity greatly affects the microbial degradation process of crude oil; thus, the isolation and
identification of halotolerant microbes is essential. Limited studies explored how microbes …

Microbialenhanced oil recovery has gained more attention in recent years due to its low cost
and eco‐friendliness. However, studies on the application of this technique in the low …

BACKGROUND One of the major parts of global environmental pollution is petroleum‐
derived products. The purpose of this study was the biodegradation of total petroleum …

Abstract The application of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery relies heavily on the
microorganisms in oil wells. However, due to the difficulties in separating bacteria from oil …

The oil industry effluents, oily sludge and oil spills on land and water cause a major threat to
the environment as their constituents are toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic. None of the …

There are obvious advantages of biosurfactants over chemical surfactants. The developing
shortage of oil and rapid increase of oil prices is putting pressure on oil companies to …

This study stimulated functional microbial adaptation to the extreme environment of the
Luliang oilfield reservoir and assessed the impact of indigenous microbial enhanced oil …

Crude oil pollution is one of the most serious environmental issues today, and the clean-up
procedure is perhaps the most difficult. Within one to three weeks, the vast majority of oil …

Marine sponges are an attractive source of bacterial strains that are tolerant to and able to
degrade toxic compounds. This study reveals the diverse bacterial communities of marine …
